The Art of Love by Ovid - Rare Fabulous Folio Society Edition #Ovid #Poetry
Discover the infamous "Ars Amatoria" in this Fabulous Folio Society edition of Ovid's "The Art of Love."
Translated by James Michie, this 1993 release offers a fresh interpretation of the Roman lyric poet's classic work, complete with gorgeous and sometimes risqué illustrations by Grahame Baker. This tongue-in-cheek comedy of the sexes serves as a unique how-to guide, offering sparkling, witty, and at times, provocative advice on love, seduction, and relationships.
With jaunty rhyming couplets that bring the text to life, Michie's translation provides a fresh perspective, making every couple of lines feel like something worthy of a business card. The book is bound in cream cloth, featuring the alluring design of a naked woman, while the spine bears the title in gilt.
The coordinating burgundy slipcase adds a touch of elegance to this fifth printing of the 1993 edition. Though some may find the artwork and content slightly daring, this exquisite edition of Ovid's work promises to be a captivating and thought-provoking read for the adventurous at heart.
